SPACE ODDITY ~

Here’s the last non-christmas related nail art before a long time lol. So I decided to do a galaxy mani which really looks similar to the one I posted months ago. I even used the same Essie black polish than back then.

I think the secret of this nail art is in the way of create the planet. You have to mix the two colors together but not too much in order to create a marbled effect. Once you’ve done that, you just have to add some white dots and stars and voilà! Pretty simple and the result is cool. I obviously used holo because it’s just perfect for galaxy designs. I like how colorful this mani is.

This nail art was inspired by XNailsByEmyX on Instagram.

Starting next week, I’ll be back to my old schedule by posting only once a week. But I won’t post any nail art no! I will post christmas nail art lol. I don’t really have any idea at the moment but hopefully the christmas spirit will help me.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Hang Up The Heels

Essie : Excuse Me, Sur

COLORFUL STRIPES & ZIGZAG ~

I’m into stripes these days so here’s another stripes nail art! So I did stripes using pink, purple and green. Then, I did some zigzag using blue in the center of the big purple stroke.

Polishes I used :

Maybelline : Sea Sky

Bourjois : Rose Imaginaire

Bourjois : Vert Chlorophylle 

Essie : Dress Call

White Polish

EARLY CHRISTMAS ~

I feel like this mani could be perfect for christmas especially because I used red and gold together. Btw, speaking of christmas, I will be posting only christmas related nail art during all the month of december. I don’t know if I will top 2019 christmas but I will try lol. I really liked the designs I did last year.

For this nail art, I didn’t really have a plan. I just took a red and a gold polish and drew random patterns. It kinda turned cool lol.

Polishes I used :

Sally Hansen : Red-Handed

Essie : Getting Groovy

DUOCHROME & MULTICOLOR ~

Some stripes... again! I don’t get tired of doing stripes on my nails even tho it can be tricky to do them straight lol.

I love the mix of white/black and the colored stripes.

This nail art was inspired by ChelseaQueen on Instagram.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Need a Vacation

Essie : Join The Club

Sinful Colors : Jaune Pastel

Kure Bazaar : Love

Modelite : F40

ALL EYES ON YOU ~

This nail art is giving off many different vibes lol. I don’t know, the red with the blue stripes reminds me of a flag, a soccer jersey (not that I know anything about soccer lol), a circus tent and so on lol.

For this mani, I did blue stripes on a red base. Then I did a gradient using gold glitter and I drew an eyes on my ring fingernail. I’m particularly proud of the eye. So yeah I did a blue eye even though I have brown eyes. But I feel like blue eyes just stand out in nail art. 

The last time I draw eyes for a nail art, it was for the 2020 new year nail art as a sign of good luck. And well, let’s say it didn’t help AT ALL lol.

Polishes I used :

Kure Bazaar : Love

China Glaze : Man Hunt

China Glaze : Golden Enchantment

Essie : Getting Groovy

Sephora : Icy Cocktail

Sephora : Gold Fever

DOUBLE FACES ~

I said that I would try to do more of these faces designs that we see everywhere. I’m quite happy about the result. I really like these colors together. I would even say that this pink is probably my fave polish from Sephora.

For the faces, I first applied white polish on my middle and ring fingernails. Then, I did brush strokes using pink, blue and nude polishes. I finally used black to draw the faces. I applied pink polish on my pointer and pinky fingernails. I feel like the background of the faces gives off some artsy vibes, I like that lol.

Polishes I used :

Sephora : Rose Bouquet

Essie : Go Go Geisha

Une : C25

White Polish

TURQUOISE STONE MARBLE & AZTEC ~

I decided to take my revenge on marble since my last one wasn’t really a success lol. This attempt is better. 

For this nail art, I created a turquoise stone effect for the background by dabbing a gold polish and doing some marbles. And because I’m still in my aztec mood, I added some aztec designs.

I was inspired by NailArt_ByGracie by Instagram.

Polishes I used :

Rimmel : Peppermint

Essie : Million Mile Hues

Black Polish

MARBLE IN FALL ~

I used the same red polish than in my last post. I really like it, it’s perfect for fall.

So for this nail art, I tried to do a marble design on my middle fingernail and well I’m not that convinced lol. I probably should have dilued the black polish to obtain a more subtle look. 

What I like about mix’n’match mani is that you just have to associate the right colors together to have a good and effortless result.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Hear Me Aurora

Essie : Getting Groovy

Sephora : Gold Fever

White & Black Polishes

ARGYLE PATTERN ~

You probably noticed that argyle pattern is very in right now especially with the vest comeback. Also, this pattern is a fall classic so I had to do them on my nails. I came accross this design on Pinterest and found it perfect for the season. This mani is definetly better for fall than the last one I posted.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Hear Me Aurora

Essie : Getting Groovy

Maybelline : Cool Touch

White Polish

SUMMER IN FALL ~

I feel like this mani is more for summer than for fall. I really like these colors together. As you can see, my little obsession for aztec is not going down.

Polishes I used :

Maybelline : It’s A Boy

Rimmel : Round and Round in Circles

Yves Saint Laurent : n°41

Black Polish

MESSY MANI ~

I’m not gonna lie, I didn’t know where I was going with this one. It’s a mess like 2020 I guess lol.

For this nail art, I created a gradient with some blue, yellow, pink and green. Then, I did a checkerboard using black on my pointer and middle fingernails. Finally, I applied a polish with square glitters.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Garden Variety

Sephora : Brazilian Sun

Make Me Up : F1

Modelite : F49

GREY & MINT ~

Yeah my favorite kind of nail art! The ones you spend a lot of time doing but are worth it. Sophisticated, detailed... love that lol.

I came accross this old design by NailsByCambria on Pinterest and decided to give it a try. I’m pretty happy about the result even tho grey is not my go-to color.

Polishes I used :

Maybelline : Cool Touch

Miss Europe : Gris Mat

Missha : BL002

I’LL BE THERE FOR YOU ~

I don’t know if it looks like it or not but my accent nail is supposed to be the frame on Monica’s appartment door. Friends is my all time favorite TV show, there is something so comforting about it. And yeah... Ross sucks lol and Chandler is *chef’s kiss*.

For the little story, I saw a Tiktok of a girl reproducing Monica’s door on her bedroom door. She even painted the frame herself, like she drew it and painted it. Not gonna lie, I don’t have the talent for that lol. My friend told me to just buy the frame so I did. I painted my door in purple and hang the frame. Now I have the dopest door of my whole house lol.

This is nail art was inspired by NailsByKatieBug on Instagram.

Barry M : Passion Fruit

Missha : OR001

White Polish

FALL PATTERNS ~

Here’s another fall nail art. I really like how it turned out, it’s not necessarily the typical fall color except for the red brick. It’s clearly this color that carries the whole fall vibe of this mani lol.

This design kinda reminds of me of friendship bracelet.

Polishes I used :

L’Oréal : Pop Poupée

Une : C07

Essie : Groom Service

Maybelline : Lookout Lemon

Black Polish

FALL ABSTRACT ~

It was about time that I do these faces designs that we see everywhere. Even a coworker said that I should try to do them on my nails so here’s my take on them! I think I will try doing them in other nail art.

I feel like abstract designs are super in right now, I want to try them more in the future.

This nail art was inspired by PastelPolished on Instagram.

WATERCOLOR ~

Polishes I used :

Essie : Aim To Misbehave

Essie : Après-Chic

Hello Kitty : Lea Doll

AZTEC (AGAIN) ~

I told you in my last post that I was really into aztec designs at the moment so here’s another aztec nail art! I have to admit that I spent too much on this and it didn’t turn out that well. I don’t know, I just feel like the mani isn’t that clean if it makes sense lol. Just too much work for a final result not that good. 

Polishes I used :

Essie : Kimono-Over

Essie : Join The Club

Essie : Need a Vacation

Maybelline : Rosy Pink

I’m really into these kinds of design at the moment, I don’t know how you call them : aztec I guess? Anyway, I like doing them on my nails.

For this nail art, I was inspired by Coewless on Instagram. Of course, my nails are nowhere near hers but I did my best lol.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Can’t Stop Her in Copper

Essie : Coconut Cove

Essie : Après-Chic

Black Polish

COLORFUL CHEVRONS ~

Here’s a quick and easy mani. I really like it! I did some chevrons on my middle fingernail. On my pointer and pinky fingernails I put the colors I used for the chevrons and mixed them together. I have to say that those 2 nails looked better irl lol. Finally, I put a silver glitter polish on my ring fingernail. 

This nail art was inspired by VictoriaNails on Tumblr.

A DESERT - OR A METAPHOR FOR MY LOVE LIFE - ~

I guess here’s another episode of me stepping out of my comfort zone and doing designs on my nails I’m not used to. I have to say that I’m pretty proud of this one (except for the fact that my middle fingernail is broken and doesn’t match the length of the other nails). I came accross a design by Nailing_This_ on Pinterest and decided to give it a try.

So on my middle and ring fingernails I drawed a desert with some cactus which are a perfect representation of my personality. I have this thing called “resting bitch face” that makes me look very approachable to people like a cactus lol. For the little story, I bought one for my bedroom and my dad was like “why would you even buy that” and I said : “it just represents my personality so well”.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Go Go Geisha

Essie : High Class Affair

Essie : Off Tropic

Bourjois : Bleu Model

Bourjois : Bleu Asphalte

KHAKI AZTEC ~

I came accross this old Nailasaurus’ design on Pinterest and wondered why I never did it in the past. This is totally my kind of nail art. I really like how it turned out. I love how detailed this mani looks and trust me it tooks me a while to do it. Plus, this khaki green is perfect for fall.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Sew Psyched

Essie : Big Spender

Essie : Nama-Stay The Night

FALL ISN’T OVER YET ~

I know that once october and Halloween are over, everyone has their eyes on Chistmas. I'm not talking about anyone specifically but I have friends like that lol. Fall isn’t over yet so it’s still time for me to post my nail art.

I did something simple for this fall nail art : some flowers on my middle fingernail and a plaid design on my ring fingernail. 

I was inspired by a design that I saw on Pinterest. 

Polishes I used :

Essie : Coconut Cove

Essie : Getting Groovy

Essie : Lady Godiva

Une : C14

L’Oréal : Waters Edge

Rimmel : Round and Round In Circles

UNICORN & RAINBOW ~

It’s probably the most cheesy nail art I’ve ever done lol. You might not believe it but the most difficult thing to draw for the unicorn was the eyelashes lol. Not surprising for me because I always struggled drawing eyes for animals. 

What best to complete a unicorn and rainbow mani ? Holo of course! So I used “Linear Holo Taco” as the final touch. 

Polishes I used :

Essie : Muchi, Muchi

Essie : Après-Chic

Maybelline : It’s A Boy

Maybelline : Lilac Wine

Formula X : Incandescent

NIGHT SKY ~

I just want to start this post by saying that I really loooove this nail art! I was inspired by Jeealee on Instagram. When I saw this nail art, I wasn’t sure to be able to do because it’s not really the kind of designs that I”m used to do but I’m pretty proud of the final result. 

So as you can see, all the fuss is about my accent nail. I did landscape with moutains and a tent under the stars which is kinda ironic because i’ve never went camping lol.

Polishes I used :

Essie : Lots of Lux

Essie : Need a Vacation

Essie : Coconut Cove

Rimmel : Apricot Punch

Bourjois : Sunny Sunday

Maybelline : Party Blue

HOLO TACO ~

My friends gifted me a set of 4 Holo Taco polishes for my birthday so thanks to them I have finally a real holographic nail polish lol. I have a few holo but they’re pretty deceiving tbh. Since I wasn’t able to win with my multiple participations to the Holo Taco competition, this gift was really perfect lol. If it wasn’t for them,  would probably have not bought it myself.

So for the baptism of this special polish, I did a colorful gradient on my middle and ring fingernails. Then using “Linear Holo Taco” and Kiko n°400, I did some V shapes. On my pointer and pinky fingernails, I applied the 2 same polishes I used to do the V shapes. I like how there is a contrast between the gradient and the holo.

I know Cristine said in one of her podcast that taking picture of holo in a lightbox wasn’t the best way to capture it. But I think the holo is still beautiful anyway.

Polishes I used :

Holo Taco : Linear Holo Taco

Kiko : n°400

Modelite : F46

Sinful Colors : Jaune Pastel

Bourjois : Bleu Model

Maybelline : It’s A Boy

Essie : Splash Of Grenadine

PLAID WEATHER ~

This is the perfect time for some plaid design. I was inspired by Coewless on Instagram and no matter how I try my nail art can’t be half as good as hers. It’s definitely not the best plaid design I did.

I know this design gives some Christmas vibes even my manager said it but I swear it wasn’t intentional lol.

Polishes I used :

OPI : Coca-Cola Red

OPI : Bling Dynasty

Revlon : Royal 

Essie : All The Wave

THE HAPPIEST (& CLOSED) PLACE ON EARTH ~

I went to Disneyland with 2 friends in September so I did this -awful- mani. As you can see, I tried to do the famous Disney castle but I don’t know why I really struggled to do it. What’s funny is that I already did this castle on my nails a long time agoooo in high school I think and believe it or not I did it way better back in the days lol. Maybe I’m regressing lol. I was so pissed when I did this mani, at first I wanted to do like the shadow of the castle in black but it was a fail so I did this technique instead. I was so pissed that I didn’t do the accent nail at the same time than the other nails lol. I was THAT pissed lol. Like honestly, I did more complicated nail art, why did I struggle this much for this ? lol.

Maybe I can say that this nail art is “in memory of” Disney now that it’s closed ? Now we’re in quarantine in France so obviously Disney is closed. We wanted to go again but... *clown emoji*. On a brighter side, it was really cool to go there because with all the COVID thing, just a few people can enter in the park so we didn’t have to wait a long time for the attractions and also my friend made us some really cool Mickey masks which everyone was jealous of lol.
